Rain walk

2017

This design study engages with the development of a light weight tree top walk spanning between high grown trees in the Amazonian rainforest. It is important for the material of the structure to have a low self weight and to be structurally high performing. Considering these requirements, it is proposed to construct the tree top walk of resin impregnated carbon fibre strands. Drones are utilized to weave the carbon fibres. The strand weaving pattern follows the internal force flow of the tree top walk. The tree top walk has a total span of 200 m with 11 support points in total.

Zone 4

2017

The objective of this computational design study is to develop a proposal for a high-rise building structure capable of coping with high wind loads. The first step of this study is to test a range of geometries in regards to their overall performance with the parametric engineering plug-in Karamba. The key aspects for evaluation are overall displacement, bending moment, compressive and tensile forces. After identifying the most successful geometry within this group, geometrical parameters affecting the specific morphology are modified with the plug-in Octopus in order to further improve the key aspects of the structural behaviour. The morphological articulation and material distribution of the structure respond to inner forces. For the deployment scenario the harbour area of Bremerhaven in northern Germany is selected.

INNER FORCES AFFECT STRUCTURAL ARTICULATION


“Cloud”

2016

“Cloud” is a floating luminescent sculpture, which generates a play of diffuse and direct illumination due to its surface treatment. “Cloud” has been entirely designed and analysed by computational design tools including Grasshopper, Galapagos, Millipede and Diva. Gaining insight about the illumination behaviour of each of the design options as well as strategically optimizing the design is the aim of the simulations conducted with the Diva plug-in. This study shows that designing should be a form of research and that this research may be open ended, which stands in contrast to the intuitive design approach.

Behavioural Matter_�The Chemical Machine�

2013

This thesis argues for a cybernetic building system, which is capable of regulating the micro and macro environment by chemically led communication as well as purposeful morphological regulation between parts by continuous feedback loops. The proposal originates from a critique on current disparate multicomponent building systems. This research investigates an adaptive biological system of self regulation and intercellular communication that prevents from systemic failure - the Slime mould. To enable communication and self regulation within the architectural context, the self-perpetuating Belousov Zhabotinsky chemical reaction, which is mathematically equivalent to the slime mould, is materialised to tangible solid matter.

The research aims to situate the adaptive and information processing capabilities of the slime mould within an architectural context. The behavioural intelligence of the slime mould including the communicative and regulative mechanisms are mathematically expressed with the Two Variable Oregonator model. The biological modes of information processing can be retraced chemically, as the Belousov- Zhabotinsky Reaction and the slime mould share the same systemic logic. Therefore, we are implementing chemistry as a synthetic means within matter to embedd slime mould intelligence into architecture.

Ret[u]rning Matter

2011

The purpose of this workshop was to explore new opportunities in architectural design by the means of digital and physical coding as well as through the manipulation of the Gray Scott algorithm. Our team has responded to this brief with two Gray Scott patterns which overlapped and also interacted with one another into a mutation within the digital format. This allowed for different printing settings within one model, and the physical graduation of mutation. Through this secondary reaction diffusion an emergent pattern is derived which cannot be observed with the single Gray Scott pattern.

Alisa Andrasek // Jose Sanchez Architectural Association-School of Architecture, London


DIGITAL EXPLORATION Mutation in sequences


PHYSICAL: 3D PRINTING

GCODE & Rapman Due to the presence of two Gray Scott patterns there were two different point classes in the Processing script. This has allowed for two different allocations of printing procedures for a single model through the use of GCODE. The model below was assigned two different settings of nozzle speed in printing on the Rapman machine. Through the physical printing procedure the contradistinction of the two patterns has been amplified creating a complex textural dialogue.



Behavioural Affects// ”Waterbellies”

2011

The agenda of this workshop was to explore the organization of matter and the flow of energy, hydraulics, in order to design a kinetic lighting device. The “Waterbellies” are interconnected water pouches where displacement of water from one pouch to another occurs due to varying vertical positioning and intentional weight differences within the system. The displacement of water is the primary force behind the movement of the “Waterbellies”. Once a pouch is filled with water, it becomes a light source due to the temporary refraction of ambient light. The “Waterbellies” patterns light through its movement. Interconnecting pouches of varying weights form a cluster enabling the flow of energy. Rob Stuart-Smith / Tyson Hosmer Architectural Association-School of Architecture, London

System: Local and global Following a number of tests a system prototype is developed, which relies on the interdependency of every clusters. The clusters are deliberately different regarding their weight. This imbalance is the base for this system to get activated and to move perpetually. The clusters are globally mechanically interconnected, so that activating one cluster leads to the time delayed activation of a neighbouring cluster.

2008

Analysing the existing school shows a great difference between the strong, creative and diverse soul and its limiting body. The search for a spatial structure begins, which gives the soul the freedom to grow and develop. This process based growth depends on relationships and communication. A spatial structure is developed, which offers multiple relationships and communication due to the informal in-between open spaces. The minimised plans and materials of the inhomogeneous volumes will allow the programme and infill to grow. The new building is a process itself: It has the ability to constantly absorb new contents and grow from the inside. This process is based on relationships and the potential of the soul.

Viewing Tower // Koblenz [Germany]

Adding variations of a module => Continuous space

2008

The immediate context and the distance to the city’s attractions determine the vertical organization of the tower. Thus the way up inviting you to pause and enjoy nature becomes a spatial structure, gaining the same importance as the viewing platform itself. The construction has been conducted with steel hollow sections, simply supported. While opaque parts are covered with weatherproof corten steel sheets, transparent parts are encased with a stainless steel net.

Minimum Impact House// Frankfurt M. [Germany]

2007

The artist’s hotel, an integral part of the existing arts’ network of Frankfurt’s northern part, is a platform for national and international artists. The functional diversity found on the urban level is purposefully translated into a spatial and functional structure. Thus, a variety of studios, common spaces and individual rooms are interlinked and externally identifiable by different materials, volumes and window sizes. The facade becomes a large canvas facing the popular public space. The boarding house culturally enriches the “Friedberger Platz” and its immediate surrounding.

“Adaptive microcosm”// Kolkata [India]

2007

The district “Kumartuli” depends on a network of workshops, raw material dealers and residencies. The semi permanent character of the settlement, socially important streets, the efficient and adaptive nature of space are key themes of “Kumartuli”. Thus, the periodical shift of density, the efficient and complex spatial structures are key aspects of the proposed housing typology. The proposed residential block is adaptable to various spatial scenarios and to future population developments. Key elements are an elevated “street” including public spaces, structures like shrines, washing areas, courtyards as well as the adaptable units.

Art Gallery // Bugis [Singapore]

2006

A variety of activities take place on streets and pedestrian zones in the popular “Bugis� area. This not only highlights the need for public open spaces, but also the fact that a new-built needs to enrich the city spatially and functionally. Therefore, the proposed museum is floating over the chosen site, which is currently used as are a parking lot. A multifunctional public space with unconventional visual relationships to the floating museum above develops. Adjacent religious, social and artistic activities activate the open space. The design process was driven by the continuous transformation of massing and by developing a feasible structure for the floating museum. Prof. Joseph Lim National University of Singapore

BOTANICAL GARDEN TAIPEI

2007

The existing botanical garden has constantly been shrinking due to the urban growth of Taipei. Due to this process, the garden has lost its identity and its value as a place for recreation and education. The ecosystems of Taiwan are showcased in this garden in a compressed way referring to the urban density of Taipei. Experimental, process based and unique overlapping zones between the ecosystems evolve. The vertically and horizontally compressed habitat encourages biodiversity. The 3 ecosystems are partly created by an artificial accessible skin. Different vertical levels of perception are used to showcase different qualities of these ecosystems and the specific site.

2005

The vibrant site is an important interface between the calm residential area in the east and the lively city centre. This small oasis needs to be preserved, as there is also a lack of open spaces in the neighbourhood. A productive analogue-digital model based design process followed. The design concept has been inspired by the constant flow and vibrancy around the site. Thus, 4 images of a fictional rectangular body moving on the public space are captured. Due to the slender shape of the highrise, a major part of the open space is preserved. Urban impulses like views and functional relationships determine the internal organization. Prof. D.

Habitat design in urban context// Ahmedabad, India

2005

The existing slum was analysed regarding the variety of lifestyles, family structures and spatial needs. Social, ecological and infrastructural aspects were important points as well. A range of interviews held inside and outside the slum formed the basis of the design concept. The key idea is the centrally located open space, which intentionally offers opportunities for social interaction and connects the slum to adjacent communities. Diversely scaled open spaces hierarchically flow into the residential area. All residential units are ground level based, which enables social interaction on the smaller scale. The flexible structure of the units are responsive to various family structures, which leads to a variety of housings types. Prof. Mathey/ Prof. B.

2004

The thin and material efficient shell of the “Tridacna Maxima” protects the mollusc and offers intimacy. The growth of the fan shaped shell is responsive to the needs of the mollusc and to outer stress. It is based on the hyperboloidal parabloid, which is defined by curves with high and low points. The digital-analogue design process reveals similarities between the shell and the morphology of an opera house. The fan shaped structure is gradually transformed into an auditorium with the stage as the origin point of growth. The auditorium is the intimate core of the shell, while the building itself has a great urban impact. All enclosing surfaces are shaped according to functional and spatial needs such as the roof and the seating area. Prof. Karl-Heinz Petzinka Technische Universität Darmstadt
